LONDON — Kohei Uchimura of Japan has a gold medal. It might be the first of many.
Uchimura ran away with the men’s title at the world gymnastics championships Thursday night, adding it to his silver medal from the Beijing Olympics. He scored 91.500 points, more than 2› ahead of Daniel Keatings, who delighted the O2 Arena by giving Britain its first all-around medal.
Russia’s Yury Ryazanov was third.
American Tim McNeill finished seventh at his first major international competition. U.S. champion Jonathan Horton was 17th after falls on three events.
